Hi Neil. Following a bit of research there appears to be compelling evidence. Scats, DNA evidence, plaster casts of big felines paws (not dogs), dead feline skins, road kill evidence and very credible witness statements including from veterinary surgeons 👍.

You may strike lucky. I've picked up some right bargains in general second hand book shops. Ones worth £80-90 for a fiver. They are out there. Although with eBay and Abebooks sellers are more savvy these days.

The farmers don't want the publicity. They'll deal with the problem if proving problematical with livestock. I've recently been told of sightings on the more remote parts of the Yorkshire Derwent. Following this thread earlier in the year I've researched the sightings. It seems to me, that there...

Adrian in some cases book prices have actually come down. For example, Pikers Progress used to fetch well over £100 about 15 years ago. That was until John Watson updated it with further chapters. Basically a second edition. Second hand prices are generally a reflection of the initial print run...

Alan I think Mike has/had a copy at a reasonable price 👍

Mike is the "Pike of Broadband" the first edition? If not sold I'll buy it. Thanks.

I once had the honour of sitting next to Fred Buller and his charming wife at an angling function dinner. He was interesting company and an old school gentleman. I still own the softback "Mammoth Pike" version that I purchased in 1979. It should have been the hardback!

😂Certainly comes across that way in his book. Does he still live in his caravan?

I can't say I've read any of his books Joe. Must get around to bagging a copy.

I did think of making it the top 5, but there are so many that I like, that 10 seems more appropriate 😀. Mine are: 1. A pikers progress - John Watson 2. Red Eye - Mick Cutler 3. Tinca Tinca - Tench fishers 4. Mammoth Pike (x2 editions) - Neville Fickling 5. The Eel Angler- Barry McConnell...

Well done on the 9's Bill. Lovely looking Tench to boot. Not so many tench for me this spring compared to the previous two years. Big bream catching (by accident) instead.

Agreed there Christian. Both great books. Stephen Harper production quality. The best in the game imo.

I purchased the chirp version. You download the app to a phone and it gives you a wireless real time sonar map of the bottom. I've only used it a few times, and two times on pits where I've fished and caught in the past. It indicates with colour coded contours supplying information of bottom...

Sounds just like the sort of water, that I wouldn't want to be a member of😳. Had Mr Bailiff wound his 3 rods in before he popped around to see you 🙂?

Seems as though the stitching is the main weakness on these Alex. With regard to metal joint faults. Why should anyone have to go to the trouble of getting those type of faults fixed? Prior to this item I've had chairs that have lasted well over 10 years. I generally avoid Fox products...

I've got the same chair Stephen. About three years as well. Not cheap as you say. The stitching on my chair has started to go. I'm always reticent about buying Fox gear because of their product durability. It's not on discontinuing a faulty / unreliable product expecting the customer to just buy...

Northern lights over Liverpool 😗

I've purchased all of my custom builds from the one rod builder (Dave Lumb). I knew of him before the first purchase. It was based on his reputation as a rod builder and as an angler. The latter is certainly a plus to me. The ring spacing and handle length for the blank are probably two of the...

Portable and compact unit with integral battery. Comes with wooden batten mounted transducer for simple clamping onto the boats transom. Used on the big pike waters. I haven't used for some time. I am not sure on the integrity of the transducer wire and probably needs replacing. £75.

I purchased for use on the Trent. I've used it about three times. I prefer bank sticks. Good condition. £45 posted.
